Yuletide! Whee!

For those of you who don't know what Yuletide is, you can spare yourself a lot of incomprehensible posts by reading this right now. For those of you who despise, deplore, or defenestrate fanfic, I suggest that you skip all posts tagged "Yuletide."

Whee! Yuletide! Sign-ups are now open!

After deep and prolonged thought, I decided to repeat three previous unfulfilled requests and add a new one.

In a fit of madness, I offered thirty fandoms: some because I wanted to write them, some because I wanted to refresh my acquaintance with the source, and a few because I am a lunatic and I wished to be driven further into the depths of gibbering insanity in the name of Yuletide they would be a challenge.

A handy list of available fandoms is here. Any given fandom may or may not get any stories written for it, but the thrilling possibilities include Maggie Helwig's Between Mountains, The Mahabharata, The Tale of Genji, Biggles, Enid Blyton, Anne McCaffrey (available for the first time, as far as I know), Heian Japan RPS (Real People Fic), the now-terrifying Care Bears, most Shakespeare plays, two songs ("The Queen and the Soldier" and "Whiskey In The Jar"), and nearly the entire oevre of L. J. Smith.

I am so excited! Tell me of your own excitement!
